I’m getting double jaw surgery this Tuesday wish me luck! I never liked the way I looked so I can’t wait this. I can’t wait to be able to smile. I’m ready for it 💪🏻
I feel you man, I've been waiting for this surgery for soooo long and it's finally almost so far! I don't know when but in july or august I'm gonna get my jaw surgery and I honnestly can't wait to get this over with because this is litterly the only reason I don't feel good about the way I look :)
Lihem well I’ll be a month post-op Friday and I’d say to prepare yourself mentally the most. You can prepare all you want physically but the mental part is the hardest. Everyone tells me how different I look and stuff but I just don’t see it. I still have a good bit of swelling which everyone says is normal but it bums me out nonetheless. You just gotta keep the positive attitude and know that it will be worth it in the end and all good things take time.
No need to prepare now, I've been prepared for years lol.. I know about the swelling and I know it'll take months to fully heal but I'm prepared for this. I don't know about you but this is something I've been wanting to happen for sooo long and I just can't wait.
David Cavill, idk man, probably.. I had to look for braces when I was 12 and then I got to know I had an underbite and had to wait until I was 19 to get surgery and braces.. I’m 21 now, I have braces since december 2016 and I’ll get my surgery in august, just before the new schoolyear starts again.
I have stubborn swelling, I’m 6 months post op and I was super insecure because one cheeks bigger then the other one side of my nose is pudgy but you just brought me back to reality and made me realize this is all a mental thing so I just got to thug this out 🙏🏽 thank you
Watching and writing this 4 years after my double jaw surgery! Feels so weird like it was yesterday. I still think sometimes “how bad would my cross bite be now if I didn’t do the surgery” glad I did it! I do have a little permanent nerve damage in my chin though but it’s no issue. Anyone who needs it done get it done. You’ll thank yourself 4 years later lol
Crazy I watched this video before getting the surgery and now I’m 1 year post op too. I’m so happy for us and for everyone who managed to be courageous to do it. One thing I noticed is my gums are still numb and when I yawn strongly my left jaw would click sometimes.. but it’s fine, nothing painful or worrying. Other than that…nothing. Absolutely worth it all.
Hi Jair! I never thought I'd make it to this point but I am now 1 full year removed from the surgery myself. Your videos helped me choose this surgery and your tips got me through it. You changed my life man. Hope all is well. God bless.
You look perfect! I’m so happy for you you deserve to feel comfortable with your bite, breathing and your face. Makes me less worried about my recovery. Thank you so much Jair 🙏🏻🖤
Omg! Yeah you look different and there is something i noticed you speaking voice changed as well.anyway you look much better or should i say much more handsome now.good for you.
I had double jaw surgery 4 days ago. I am pretty swollen right now. This was the second surgery and hopefully the last. I had a growth disorder on my jaw. I can't wait to eat normal again and see the results of the surgery. Thank you for sharing how long your recovery took. You look great!
I’m 10 months post op and still swollen. My surgery was 9 hours and I had a jaw joint replaced. I can’t fully move half of my face yet. Nerves are still healing. I’m seeing progress but very slowly.
I'm getting double jaw surgery this Thursday! Wish me luck, all your videos have seriously helped me. I'm in Ireland, so can't get Shakeology, do you have any other reccomendations?? ✌️
I use to watch you Jaw videos before I got my surgery back in Oct! I had the same experience you described, still slightly numb on my bottom lip and chin area too (and it does feel like pins and needles (in a non painful way--in a ticklish way though) but yeah, thanks for your videos!!
I just got my jaw wired shut for 6-8 weeks and I’ve never been more scared in my life just hoping ill look the same after this 😭 right now with all the swelling i look like sherk
Hey Jair, congratulations to your recovery! You are so brave!👍 I have a question, is there any metal thing in your mouth to keep your jaw bone up? Thank you 🙏🏻
When did you start being able to feel your teeth, gums, roof of mouth, etc...? My husband had a double jaw surgery a month ago and it’s really bothering him that he has no feeling. They told us typical blood loss is 150-250 ccs and he lost 1500ccs so he has been really tired and bummed out that his energy levels aren’t coming back yet. Pain and swelling is totally gone. He’ll wear braces for another 12-18 months.
great video man i have exactly the same problem as you i need to get double jaw surgery and i wasn't sure whether or not i should get it but after seeing your video i am definitely going to
Hello! May I ask, can you feel where they've put the screws/metal plates in?? and also, this was filmed back in 2018. How are you now in 2021? have you recovered the feeling in the areas you said you were numb?? I'm in the process of looking in to getting jaw surgery, but I am 35yrs old and dont feel it's causing me health issues. So really trying to do research on this to see if I should do it or not. Thanks!
I had a sliding genioplasty and a jaw implant on one side. 9 weeks recovering now. My jaw is still super sore and numb!! . My skin feels very tight around the jaw angle implant area. I can finaly chew most foods except chicken and meat. I still have a long way to heal !! The swelling to go down on the jaw angle implant takes forever!! I dont like how my jaw looks now but im not even close to this being the final picture.. im all swollen up still unfortunately
I got double jaw surgery almost 5 weeks ago and am so keen to start eating food again 😂 I know everyone’s recovery is different, but how long did it take for you to get feeling back in your chin/lower lip and under eye area? You look great by the way!
i dont know about you but my first week right now, it is a bit painful and very nauseating the whole week. I hope it gets better and I caneat solidish foods soon. When can i open my jaw all the way? and what about skin peeling near the lip?(scabs)
I'm starting the process soon, and one of my concerns at the moment is having braces for 18 months before the surgery. I'm 20, so having a full set of braces is obviously not ideal. But on top of that, I've heard the braces will have to make my underbite appear worse before the surgery improves it. In your experience, how big was the difference in your bite between the first and last day of braces before surgery?
Will Thompson Hey man, I’m in a similar situation as you but nearing the end of my treatment, my surgery is next month. I’m 21 years old had the braces on for almost two years now. Personally my underbite did get progressively worse. I was self conscious in the beginning being a young adult with braces and an underbite, but eventually idk you just kinda get use to it and the mindset I tried to stick to was that in the end this will all be worth it. Now at the tail end before my surgery it’s funny my appearance isn’t something I worry about anymore. Hope this helps!
I'm in the same boat as @flashdriveification and the same age too and I can agree with what they said. There was a moment when I realised how my underbite was accentuated because of the braces. It becomes a bit more obvious in photos but you will notice it more than anybody else. You get used to it. Think of it as a stepping stone to the final goal :) The 16 months i had braces on just flew by honestly. Anywho I'm having my surgery in two days time yeeowww!
Had double jaw surgery 2 weeks ago and do not like how it’s turned out yet! I always had sharp features with my underbite but I look so puffy and rounded. Hoping you’re right and over the next few months it starts to settle and I look better 🙏🏻
Hey Jair :) Thanks for the video! I just have a quick question. I underwent lower jaw surgery and chin surgery a year ago for an small overbite, and quite honestly, I'm probably in the minority who really regret my surgery :( I noticed in the video you're lips move kinda asymmetrically....I have the same thing on my bottom lip and its actually even more noticeable than yours. Of course, the look isn't ideal, but I'm also dealing with very bothersome stiffness and tightening of my lower lip and chin. It is super aggravating when I talk and I hate that its constantly there...did you by chance experience or are experiencing something similar? Thanks a bunch! Sara
Sara Husni almost been a year for me. I still have swelling and some days im swollen to the point i think no healing is taking place. I also have twitching in my lip and chin area. I can tell its still getting better but its sooooooo slow.
@@imarealgloman9484 everything is well. I believe I have a little nerve damage in my lower lip and some stiffness. It doesn't affect my day to day life but I do notice it
You can have surgery when your bone has finished growing. For males it's at anywhere from 18 - 22 years old and females 17- 21 years on average. You can check with your surgeon or orthodontist and request either a scan of your left hand or a CT scan of your skull which they are able to measure how much bone growth you have left. Hope this helps!
In American culture, is it a fundamental aesthetic necessity to have the best possible bite and jaw line? I ask as a Britt with an overbite that gives me no discomfort. I just notice the almost obsessive fixation with orthodontics and questioning how much of it is down to vanity rather than function?
Were you insured? How much was it?! Who helped you. Please help I’m going to have this surgery as well and I have no clue how I’m going to pay for it they told me it’s going to be 20,000. Please Jair or anyone comment back lol.
After how many weeks or months could you eat some bolognese pasta. Please tell me 2 months hahaha. And after 2 months and a half how do you feel ? Could you eat some normal stuff or was is still impossible ?
Hey no offense....I'm a dentist but find your upper crowns don't look very natural (and definitely too white). Front teeth should naturally have a more tapered/round shape instead of square-shaped like. I didn't think your cosmetic dentist did that good of a job. Anyway the before/after of your double jaw surgery looks pretty amazing!
The problem is, although I did my surgery purely for medical reasons, I can't help but feel like a fraud whenever I smile. I know it's purely physical and that my DNA hasn't actually changed at all. Sometimes I wish I never did it.
Kat A I guess it feels like plastic surgery to me although the cosmetic part of the surgery was more a by product than the reason I went through it. I could never be truly happy or confident if I got plastic surgery to enhance my looks. It's all fake and you're lying to yourself but moreso everyone else. Your DNA hasn't changed one bit, everything you once we're is still is.
Brian A that’s deep... I understand now. If only more people considered this before plastic surgery enhancements purely for cosmetic reasons. May I ask how old you were when you got the surgery and how your recovery went?
Kat A I didn't realise my comment had said 'purely for comestic reasons', I corrected it and changed it to 'medical reasons' but I've had a lot of people say it looks really good, the point is that it doesn't make me happy or glad. I'm actually a month into surgery and recovery has been so so, I wasn't wired shut and could eat pureed food from day 2 but I had a nose bleed which required me to go hospital for 3 nights and now I have a slight infection. I'm 20 by the way.
Brian A I think you’ll be glad you did it when you get older. I’m 10 years older than you and apparently there are many more risks as you age (like losing feeling in your jaw forever). I didn’t get it done at your age and as a result my teeth are damaged from a bad bite. You made a good choice so don’t worry. You might be feeling emotionally down from the surgery. Anyways, I’m glad to hear you are recovering well!! :)
Jair - Had surgery 6 days ago. Gotta say it’s been a super humbling experience. You really realize how much you need the people who love you.
I’m getting double jaw surgery this Tuesday wish me luck! I never liked the way I looked so I can’t wait this. I can’t wait to be able to smile. I’m ready for it 💪🏻
Good luck!!! It's going to be so worth it.
I feel you man, I've been waiting for this surgery for soooo long and it's finally almost so far! I don't know when but in july or august I'm gonna get my jaw surgery and I honnestly can't wait to get this over with because this is litterly the only reason I don't feel good about the way I look :)

Same here🙂whats your status now have the swelling gone
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. It was an intense series.
Thank you for sharing your experience! My girlfriend is having a double jaw surgery next week, and the info in the videos really helped!

Good luck! Youre so welcome
I'm getting double jaw surgery this Thursday! Wish me luck, all your videos have seriously helped me. I'm in Ireland, so can't get Shakeology, do you have any other reccomendations?? ✌️
Thanks for sharing! I have surgery in 3 days so this video is really encouraging!

Blue is definitely your color. It just pops out there! Alex
omg when he brought up the video of him before the surgery he is sooooo different.

I'm glad you're doing better and healing great. My smile has been an issue for me. I hope I can get my teeth fixed soon.
What about the metal plates and screws they put in your jaw are they permanent or did you remove them?
I just got my jaw wired shut for 6-8 weeks and I’ve never been more scared in my life just hoping ill look the same after this 😭 right now with all the swelling i look like sherk
The expenses and discomfort are worth it!
My man!
My only question is do you feel the screws and plates that they put on through your cheeks and lower face?
Hey Jair, congratulations to your recovery! You are so brave!👍 I have a question, is there any metal thing in your mouth to keep your jaw bone up? Thank you 🙏🏻
Just had my lower jaw surgery yesterday. I bet it was nice to be drugged and numb when you woke up
When did you start being able to feel your teeth, gums, roof of mouth, etc...?
My husband had a double jaw surgery a month ago and it’s really bothering him that he has no feeling. They told us typical blood loss is 150-250 ccs and he lost 1500ccs so he has been really tired and bummed out that his energy levels aren’t coming back yet. Pain and swelling is totally gone. He’ll wear braces for another 12-18 months.
It was 5 months ago I did my surgery, I still don´t have full feeling in my gum, lower lip, and chin
great video man i have exactly the same problem as you i need to get double jaw surgery and i wasn't sure whether or not i should get it but after seeing your video i am definitely going to

When we’re you really able to eat chips ? I’m curious cause those are my favorite snacks and I’m just dying to try some lol
I got it done one week ago and it’s been so hard to eat. I’m feeling so tired.

Hey how are you doing now? Would you recommend getting it done?
Yo tampoco puedo creer que fue hace un año!!!, pero te ves mejor q nunca..

Sara Husni i believe the tightness could be from your muscles adjusting to your new face shape
@@Gboythunda how is everything now ?
@@imarealgloman9484 everything is well. I believe I have a little nerve damage in my lower lip and some stiffness. It doesn't affect my day to day life but I do notice it

Oh Jair your so adorable...
Can I do the surgery also if I'm 17 years old?

did your insurance pay for your braces?
Hey
Were you insured? How much was it?! Who helped you. Please help I’m going to have this surgery as well and I have no clue how I’m going to pay for it they told me it’s going to be 20,000. Please Jair or anyone comment back lol.
Rylee Estes who helped cover you??
What was the cost ?
usually something like this cost about $30K.. about $15K per jaw.. but I had insurance so I only paid about $7-8K
I find it peculiar that people say that it's not a cosmetic procedure, when it can enhance your face like not other procedure can.
After how many weeks or months could you eat some bolognese pasta. Please tell me 2 months hahaha. And after 2 months and a half how do you feel ? Could you eat some normal stuff or was is still impossible ?
Varial Design I had the same surgery and I could eat pasta after a month
Hey no offense....I'm a dentist but find your upper crowns don't look very natural (and definitely too white).
